It is estimated that 20 – 40 percent of property taxes go unpaid every single year. This happens for multiple reasons; perhaps the property owner passed away, or maybe they have abandoned the property, or it’s possible that the property owner simply forgot, or fell on hard times. Whatever the reason is, the county goes without the necessary funds to sustain government programs like funding the police department, fire department, public schooling, parks, roads, etc.

The county is desperate for that money as property taxes are the primary source of income to support all the programs described above and much more.

The only recourse the county has is to place a lien on the property. The lien acts as a barrier to stop the property owner from transferring ownership, refinancing, or anything else regrading the title. The property owner’s hands are tied until the tax lien is paid… and paid in full.

But that doesn’t solve the county’s problem. The county placed a lien on the property, but they didn’t get their money. That’s where the opportunity arises for you and me and anyone interested in lending a hand to the county government and getting a pretty reward in return.

Smart

There is not a wiser investment than tax lien investing in the world. Investors from around the world are plucking them up. Institutional investors, hedge funds, and banks buy billions of dollars per year. REI Holdings now makes it possible for individuals to participate as well.

Lucrative

The state government sets the rates of return for every tax lien certificate sold in that state, and the returns are higher than you will find in any other interest-based investment. From 16 percent in Arizona to 18 percent in Florida, include lump sum gains from acquiring property and there is not a more lucrative investment.

Secure

Every tax lien certificate is backed by the real estate upon which the certificate was placed. That means that the certificate holder can foreclose on the property to get a greater return. With REI Holdings experience, systems, and connections, there has never been a safer place to buy tax lien certificates.
